I was in Houston yesterday and caught the Xtreme Bulls contest there. I must say, Mike Moore is quite the person. This was the first year he has confessed that a gold buckle was not his ultimate goal. Instead, he was looking at ways to prolong his career and make a little more money. His conclusion was that he would go to the big winter rodeos, the Xtreme Bulls and start dipping his toe in the Professional Bull Riders tour. He was just worn out from the road. Funny thing happened, though. The guy went to winning. As I write this, he’s second in the world behind Chance Smart—who is riding incredibly himself. I talked to Mo after he won nearly $20K in Houston and he was emotional. It was as if he had given up ever winning a PRCA world championship, was moving on, and suddenly it was a reality again. He seemed to be at a huge crossroads, but I think we’ll see him rodeoing again, trying to get to the Finals and win the world. As an update on my horse, the buckskin won’t work out. I like him and in fact offered full asking price, but the sellers decided not to let him go. Oh well. I’ll be back out there this weekend trying to find something else. Got a few leads. Keep updated with all the rodeo action this weekend at www.rodeohouston.com and www.prorodeo.com for the DNCFR.
